Vocal remover & acapella extractor

Remove the vocals without throwing away the rest of the song

Separate a finished track into an isolated vocal and a clean instrumental—then, if you want more control, keep the drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other detected parts on their own lanes too.

One upload can solve the quick vocal-removal job and leave you with the files for a deeper remix, cover, transcription, or rebuild.

Vocal + instrumentalThe two core files for an acapella or no-vocal mix
Up to 16 stemsMore control than a two-file vocal remover

Hear it happen on the same cleared demo song

Hear the vocal after it leaves the full mix

Use the same phrase to compare the complete track, isolated vocal, and no-vocal instrumental. Every switch restarts at the beginning so the difference is unmistakable.

What you take with you

One run, three useful ways to leave

The prepared demo lets you hear both core files. Complete also packages every other detected stem for deeper work.

Prepared demo: these files are already processed, so listening uses no credits. Select a row to restart that part at 0:00, or click its waveform to jump ahead.

Remove the vocals from your track

Upload one track here. It will open preloaded in the Audio Workshop; nothing is processed and no credits are spent until you choose a tier and confirm the run.

Uploading only preloads the file. You see the exact tier, cost, and deliverables before you choose to run it.

Not just one audio file

What comes back

Stems Only gives you the separated audio. Complete costs the same and adds editable musical information when the relevant parts are detected.

Core result

Isolated vocal and instrumental

Use the vocal as an acapella, or use the instrumental for a cover, rehearsal, karaoke, arrangement reference, or remix.

Deeper control

Drums, bass, guitar, piano and more

Instead of receiving only “vocals” and “music,” pull apart up to 16 detected lanes, including separate drum pieces.

Complete pack

MIDI, MusicXML, chords, key and BPM

Edit notes in a DAW, open notation in a scoring app, follow the chord progression, or build new parts around the original track.

Built for a next step

What you can do with it

Make an acapella

Download the vocal stem on its own for practice, editing, analysis, or an authorized remix.

Make a no-vocal version

Use the instrumental output when you need the backing track without the lead vocal.

Rebuild the arrangement

Move individual stems into your DAW, or open melodic parts in Stem Lab to audition a different instrument voice.

Learn what is happening musically

Use the detected chords, key, BPM, MIDI, and notation to study or recreate a part instead of guessing by ear.

Questions before you upload

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove vocals from a song online?

Yes. Upload an MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or OGG and Selekt separates the vocal from the instrumental in the browser workflow. The processing itself runs on a private cloud GPU.

Will I get an acapella and an instrumental?

When vocals are detected, the separated vocal is the acapella and the non-vocal output is the instrumental. Complete can also return the song’s other detected instruments as individual stems.

Is this only a two-stem vocal remover?

No. Vocal and instrumental are the fast outcome, but the same run can return up to 16 detected stems, including drums, bass, guitar, piano, woodwinds, other instruments, and individual drum parts.

How much does vocal removal cost?

Stems Only and Complete each cost 0.5 credit per track. Complete includes MIDI, MusicXML, chords, key, BPM, and drum one-shots when available. A free trial includes credits so eligible users can try it.

How long can I download my results?

Stem-separation results remain downloadable for 48 hours. Save the files you need within that window; the result also appears in your private Studio Results area while it is available.

Does Selekt keep or claim my music?

No. Uploads remain private to your account, are processed for the requested job, and are automatically deleted on the result lifecycle. Selekt does not claim ownership or grant rights to uploaded content.
